Sterling exchange dull ana unsettled at
S4.794@4.S 80 for sixty day bills and S1.s3g2
@4.S4 for demand. The stock market to-day
showed a decreasing volume of business and
marked falling off Ill outside interest. The
news of the day was not calculated to have
any material effect upon values, and the
trading was again to q very large extent con-
fined to the professional element. While the
traders were the principal sellers, there were
at times free realizations, and without any
special pressure of long stock. Prices sagged
nearly the entire day The failure of the
Bank of England to advance its rate, as was
expected i'll some quarters with rurther ship
ments of gold TO this side, was an ele-
ment of strength in the forenoon when Lon
don was buyer and the increasing promi-
nence of telegraph matters in the market,
with the excellent support accorded to West
ern Union, materially aided in the final rally.
The bears, however, were again active with
snles of short stock, unfavorable rumors and
the usual arguments in depressing prices. in
which they had efficient aid from the traders.

the tactics, although none of the active list

Special to the Globe.

DULUTH, Mimi, Sept. S.-The market was
rather, fat one. There was no buying de-
mand to speak of and no pressure to sell.
The aggregate of business was small. Prices
advanced a little over yesterdays close in
sympathy with the outside markets. Specu-
lation still seems dead. No doubt one of the
causes of its absence from our market es-
pecially is the lack of wheat. Four hundred
thousand bushels of No. hard is rather
small quantity to base any extended opera
tions upon. When the crop gets to moving
freely and its quality is fully established
business will pick up. Foreign advices were
meager. Winter wheat points reported re-
ceipts amounting TO 300,2S7 bushels Chi
cago and Milwaukee received 77,003 and
Duluth and Minneapolis III, 4S0. The
close was easy. Cash wheat-Four cars

falling off in activity among buyers has
been noticeable for the past few days. Buy
ers were looking at offerings to some extent
but did not do much in the way of buying.
Even the few lots of old 1 hard displayed
attracted NO attention. Sample tables were
well covered and of the wheat sold the
greater part of it went to fill orders from out
side mills. Low grade stuff was exception
ally slow sale and with increasing receipts of
new wheat, much of watch is low grade, the
probabilities are that the difference in prices
of grade and no grade will widen.

Note-New wheat sells several cents below
old wheat of the same grade, as the present
demand is chiefly milling demand and new
wheat is not sufficiently matured for making
flour. The difference is greater in lower
grades.

escaped their attention. Fluctuations were
narrower and the trading quieter than on
any day for the past week. The opening was
firm at advances extending to "a per cent,
and while few stocks made further Slight ad-
vanees the advantage was not maintained
and prices moved off slowly from the open
ing. Northwest was prominent for weakness
and Western Union for strength, but it soon
gave way with the remainder. Rallies were
feeble and OF short duration and further
losses were sustained toward noon with

The heavy dealings in Concords have
to be rather low. and still dealers have not
been able to advance prices. Delawares
are not in such active demand, but offerings
are ample and of very fine appearance.
Minnetonka grapes are getting to be quite
liberal and are held higher than Eastern
fruit Very few prairie chickens have been
coming in for the past week, and prices are
consequently very firm. Sales are made at
$500 per doz for fresh killed prairie chick
ems. Receipts of butter are quite liberal, and
while the quotations do not show any mate
rial decline, quotations for choice creamery
have been changed from 24c to 22c to 24c
showing an inclination to weakness. Trade
to rely good deal ON local consumption to
clear up stocks. Receipts of poultry are bet
ter, but the demand is not at all active, and
prices are not firm. In apples there is no
change.
